Synthesis in lede edit

"Development indicators have dropped, Nepal was among the countries who had seen remarkable development gains pre-quake, post-quake reversal of gains has led to some 43% of the urban population lacks access to a toilet.[3] It has been reported that one of the primary reasons for dropout and irregularity of girls in school attendance is the lack of toilets.[4]"

The above two sentences in the lede seem reasonably well-cited, but appear to be synthesis. Neither source seems to be talking about a crisis caused by the earthquake. Rather, they speak generally about lack of utilities through the country. As such, this feels like Original Research/Synthesis. Unless someone finds sources more specific to the earthquake disaster, I will probably be removing these. SilkenSaw (talk) 17:26, 21 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
